It's the TANK, Not the PUMP

摘要

One of the most basic procedures when replacing a fuel pump - and often the most overlooked - is inspecting the fuel tank. If a vehicle gets 20 miles to the gallon, then more than 5,000 gallons of gas (from many stations) will go through the tank and fuel system in 100,000 miles. During this time, sediment, rust and debris from the pump can find its way into the tank. Removing all contaminants is critical so the next pump can last just as long.
